What the hell would a country like the US, the former USSR or Chinado in space?
Don't they have other more important problems?

Spacetravel is no longer about exploring but about business. Companies are paying good money to get satellites delivered up there. Every country that is near enough to the equator to efficiently get a satellite-launching rocket into space considers it a perfect business opportunity.

Scientific space mission also have positive impact on economy but be calm as I don't presume Brasilians will walk on the moon anytime soon.
